We had a certain formula when we won the Super Bowl, we had a certain formula when we went back to the playoffs, and if we're trying to go back to the Promised Land, there is a certain formula we're sticking to, hands down.
I was leaving ... Cobalt nightclub, ... And on my way to my limousine ... a fight broke out way up past my limousine. We saw it, I grabbed my people, we hopped in my truck, we left. While we're driving off, we heard gun shots. We left the scene, and that is basically it.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. It's a very easy method with us. We run the football very well, we play hard-nosed defense,
To be on the cover of Madden NFL 2005 is the ultimate honor, ... With the focus on defense in the game this year, I knew it was my chance.
We can't have a play like they had on the touchdown when we play the Colts. Rex and the coaches will fix that.
Because a football game is just sixty minutes, but I'm training six, seven hours in every day. So, going for sixty minutes becomes easy. More importantly, I think that your muscles mature and can move in all different directions.
There's nothing I'm doing to my body that a regular person is not doing to theirs outside of just running into somebody at full speed.
My mom calls me an older soul because, growing up, she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom, chasing understanding.
We spoke out on the grass to a group of people, consoled them, let them know we understood this was a traumatic, life-changing situation. Some had tremendous reservations about relocating to a state they knew nothing about.
He has to come in and fill some big shoes. Anthony Weaver is a big hit for us, so he has to come in and do some big things for us.
He didn't mean any disrespect. He was just basically saying he wasn't happy. Some people aren't happy with their job or their wife, they say it. That's all it was, him voicing his opinion. He has a right to do that.
Peyton comes to the line, and he checks to a pass or a run, and I come to the line, and I check from a blitz to a zone, ... I think it's great for the fans to see, but it's actually more stressful when you're on the field, because you're actually trying to figure out truly their next move. He's good at it.
One of the guys I've liked and kind of monitored since college is Jonathan Vilma, ... I love the way that guy plays football.
Probably what Jonathan's seeing that I'm seeing, now that I'm older, is that I can read the guards, read the tackles, read the backfield, ... As a young guy, that's probably what he's looking at, more of my position, how I'm always in position to strike.
